In a nutshell, traditional acupuncture, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, works under the belief that the body is controlled by a flow of energy called qi traveling through pathways in the body that are called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that when these pathways become blocked and the energy can’t flow freely, various health problems begin to appear. continue reading
Acupuncture provides many benefits for people suffering from all types of conditions, discomfort, and pain. Everyone should have the opportunity to find the perfect form of therapy to obtain relief. However, the idea of needles can often stop someone from considering acupuncture as a therapy. Laser therapy has grown in all medical fields, including acupuncture treatments. As a result, “Laserpuncture” was created and is continuously becoming more popular. Laserpuncture has evolved over time, allowing more people to experience the benefits of acupuncture. If you do not like needles or maybe even suffer from trypanophobia, Compassion Acupuncture has the perfect remedy for you; The LaserPen.
RJ-LASER is an innovative laser company that originated in Germany and has impacted the wellness world since 1982. RJ-LASER was the first company to produce a compact yet powerful pen-shaped device for medical use. About 10,000 physicians across the globe use their products. As their technology evolves, more physicians recognize the high-tech options they offer.
The LaserPen is a high-tech device bringing convenience and comfort to many people worldwide. The LaserPen can work on small and large points through pulse-controlled laser acupuncture stimulation. This RJ-LASER Therapy System allows our patients to experience Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), which initiates a series of physiological reactions at the cellular level improving tissue repair and reducing pain and inflammation wherever the laser beam is applied.
Laser Therapy Acupuncture uses the principle of traditional acupuncture by stimulating a laser beam instead of a penetrating needle. The laser beam can produce low-heat light and is an electromagnetic wave, stimulating the acupuncture point of the human body without using needles. LLLT has been used for many years on sports injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, back and neck pain.
Just like acupuncture treatments with needles, Laserpuncture provides the same benefits! Benefits of Laserpuncture include…
Over 200 randomized clinical trials have been published on LLLT, half of which are on pain, such as:
Laserpuncture sessions, such as treatments with the LaserPen System, include traditional acupuncture’s excellent benefits. In fact, laserpunture has more beneficial components to offer! Advantages of Low-Level Laser Therapy include…
Comparing different methods that give the same result will always raise the question of which is better. Both methods influence live tissue and the energetic system of meridians – the needle by the stimulus, which triggers a reaction in the body, and the Laser by light energy and photons. Both acupuncture methods trigger responses within the body’s nervous system. Although both ways reach the same parts of the body’s system, they have a slightly different effects on body functions because of their remarkable influence on live tissue (harmonizes, neutralizes, tonifies, and reduces). Needle acupuncture and Laserpuncture can also complement each other. Switching between the two methods can be good for the body. They are both able to be a helpful combination depending on the situation. Each technique can be used by itself but will never replace the different processes completely. A laserpuncture session might be a little shorter in duration than a traditional acupuncture session due to a simplified method of operation. At the end of the day, both methods are safe and will help reach your maximum comfort in the long run.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Your provider will gently cleanse your skin. Topical anesthesia may be administered to assure maximum comfort during the treatment.
Skin Pen creates millions of controlled microchannels in the skin. This jump starts the production of collagen and elastin and encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. The result is a cascade of healing processes that can continue for months following your treatment.
The SkinPen treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes. Depending on whether an anesthetic is used prior to treatment, your entire treatment session may last up to one hour- still plenty of time to schedule your treatment before work or during your lunch hour. Be sure to speak with your provider before you come to get an accurate estimate, so you know how to plan your visit.
Your skin may initially appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours.
Some people see rejuvenated skin after just one treatment, and results may continue to improve for three to six months following your last treatment.
